A study of rheology of ceramic 3D printing ink

Silicon carbide is a type of ceramic structure which can withstand high chemical corrosion and temperature. As the 3D printing industry has been developing very fast and using silicon carbide paste could be one of the main material for production purposes. This will expedite the production for objec...
